Join us to celebrate Valley Vineyards’ 47th Anniversary! We have an exciting lineup of musicians, food vendors, and of course your favorite wines & beers. Our taste of Warren County has a wide variety this year! Featuring traditional schnitzel to fresh sushi, delicious barbeque and European foods, there’s something for everyone.

We’ll be offering wine & beer tasting, and as always you can purchase wine by the bottle or glass and our beers by the pint.

We will have a special booth with our Sangria Slushy.

FAQ – We’ll have plenty of seating in covered tents, and in the garden area – if you’d like to bring your own chairs you’re more than welcome to. Rain or shine the festival goes on!
